Su Mu walked in the direction of the convoy, because he was dressed appropriately, and he was wearing the Yale University badge on his chest, and there were no security personnel to embarrass him.

He is still thinking about the future development direction of the IT industry in his mind, which is the question he has been thinking about the most recently.

Although the Internet Protocol had been around for a few years in 1988, the main role of the personal computer today is still to process words and calculate numbers, and it is not very useful otherwise, and in the eyes of many people, it is still a lifeless and closed "big box".

More than $20 million was spent on publicity and promotion, making Spider's mailbox registered users as high as more than 400,000.

But only a handful of employees at Sumu and Spider know that the number of people who log in to their mailboxes at least once a week is less than one-thirtieth of the number of registered users...... That's a lot of numbers.

This is mainly due to the fact that very few people want to go online, and there are more than 4 million personal computers distributed around the world, but more than half of them are not connected to the Internet, and it can only be said that the owner of those computers has a personal computer, and they cannot be called Internet users.

The Internet is still groping for development, since the ARPANET is the only one, part of it has been transferred to the military, and part of it has been used by scientific research organizations.

Up to now, there have been hundreds of different networks, large and small, and different netizens are distributed on different networks, independent of each other, and the scale is still pitiful.

In 1982, the National Science Foundation (NSF) launched the Computer Science Network, which was accessible to any research institution for an annual fee and commercial use was prohibited, and many local networks were established and connected to the NSF network, such as the Barn Network in northern California and the Nether Network in the northeastern United States.

Computer network technology is no longer the patent of a small number of people, and many large companies have begun to develop their own internal networks, which are called local area networks, which are also promoting the development and growth of the Internet.

For others outside of the expert community, logging into the Internet is very laborious, and in order to remotely retrieve files from a computer over the Internet, users must use one program to operate the computer across the network, another program to locate the files they want, and a third program to translate the files into a format that their computer can understand.

Wall Street and Silicon Valley elites have tried to convince people that the most revolutionary technological development of the twentieth century was the Internet, a way of thinking that led to a rush of online companies to set up and then go to the Nasdaq to issue shares after a little success, causing the price of Internet stocks to climb up.

Even if many people don't understand what the "Internet" is, it still can't stop them from waving money to buy stocks, as evidenced by the fact that Su Mu invested in Microsoft and made twice the profit.

Su Mu was confused and didn't understand what the future of the Internet would be, which was the main reason why he stopped starting a business after starting Spider Mail and found the past few years boring.

The industry now looks like a big scam touted by Wall Street elites and Silicon Valley businessmen, and it's hard to imagine that such an internet will spread to the world.

Countless elites in Silicon Valley have not come up with a solution, and Su Mu has not been able to think of a solution either.

At this moment, he pondered that since he wanted netizens to enter his company's online news page, or enter the e-mail address, or the online chat room that was about to be created, he must let users on different networks know that his company has these things.

A Spider costs more than 20 million US dollars, advertising is too expensive, the company can't afford it for the time being, Su Mu immediately began to think about combining them, just need to promote their combinations, and then let users freely choose the items they want through hypertext, which can save a lot of money.

In 1981, in his book, Mr. Deter Nelson used the term "hypertext" to describe the idea of creating large, globalized documents, with parts distributed across different servers, and by activating hypertext items called links, such as a bibliography in a research paper, you can jump to the cited paper.

Su Mu has not only read this book, but also read many other books about the IT industry, and a little light came to his mind, and his pupils instantly constricted! Because he was so excited, he had goosebumps all over his body, and he even forgot to walk, and stood in place!

At this moment, he suddenly thought, since his company can combine several web pages through hypertext, why not be a little bigger and cover the content used in the entire Internet?

If Mr. Det Nelson wants to turn the entire Internet into a big document, and he can master this document himself, every Internet user can enter the Internet and find what he is looking for through it!

In this way, all the problems related to promoting the Internet are solved, because everyone can easily find everything on the Internet by themselves, add a bibliography to each resource, and then present it to users.

If you can do that, then it doesn't matter if there are hundreds, thousands, even millions, because they're all in their own documentation!

"Protocols!First develop a hypertext transfer protocol that allows users to consent to me using their resources and presenting them to other users......

Don't be nervous, it's okay, it's okay!"

Su Mu was like discovering the greatest treasure that existed in the Internet, and he was so excited that he was short of breath and his facial expression was serious!

Seeing a female classmate holding a notebook in her hand, she directly reached out and grabbed it, sat cross-legged on the road, lowered her head and picked up the pen in her pocket, and wrote lines and lines on it, for fear that she would forget something if she was not careful.

"If all the information stored on computers around the world was connected, if I could program my computers to create a space where every computer in Silicon Valley, and every computer on this planet, could be open to me and anyone else in that space, it would be a ...... The global information space!"

The look and movements were like crazy, so frightened that the female classmate almost screamed, and just as she was about to get angry, she recognized the billionaire alumnus.

There are very few Chinese and even fewer billionaires at Yale, and almost everyone knows him since the news about him appeared.

Still very angry, but even more curious, the probe looked at his notebook, only to see Su Mu drawing, in a large circle, densely packed with small dots, like a vast starry sky......
